Hungarian Spatzle (Baby Dumplings) are a popular and traditional dish in Hungary and surrounding areas. These small, soft noodles are made from eggs, flour and a few other common ingredients and are commonly served as a side dish to meat and vegetables. However, they can also be enjoyed as the main course, especially during cold winter months. This comforting dish offers a unique experience in terms of texture and flavor.

Instructions

1.	In a large mixing bowl, combine beaten eggs, milk, and salt. Mix well.
2.	Gradually add flour and baking powder, a little at a time while stirring constantly until a thick and sticky batter forms.

4.	Remove dumplings from the pot with a slotted spoon and transfer them to a skillet. Repeat process until all batter has been used.
5.	In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add cooked dumplings and cook for 2 minutes or until lightly browned.
